(SPOT.ph) Cancel your weekend plans, sneakerheads because here’s something you wouldn’t want to miss: Makati City mall Glorietta is holding its first-ever SneakerFest from now until May 1 and it’s where you can stock up on new lace-ups and slip-ons at discounted, discover one-of-a-kind styles, get your plain old kicks customized, and so much more.
What to Expect at the Glorietta SneakerFest 2022
Discover the latest sneaker styles and score awesome deals on fresh new kicks
SneakerFest is a one-stop spot where sports-shoe enthusiasts can celebrate the one thing they love most. At the Glorietta Activity Center, you’ll be able to shop several popular sneaker brands and stores including Birkenstock, Converse, Keds, New Balance, Toms, Vans, Sperry, ANTA, Saucony, and Res Toe Run all in one place. Not only will several of these labels be offering exciting deals—which means you may be able to score a pair or two at a discounted price—but they’ll also be showcasing their latest collections. Toms sneakers, in particular, will be available at up to 70% off. Meanwhile, Birkenstock is launching an exciting new collaboration.
Check out some of the sneakers you'll spot when you drop by:
Feast your eyes on Birkenstock's latest collaboration with Filipino artist Bryan Yabut
Birkenstock has teamed up with Filipino graphic designer Bryan Yabut who reinvented two of the German brand's styles, namely the Bend Low sneakers and the Kyoto sandals. You can get a closer look at the one-of-a-kind pairs when you visit the sneaker fair. Yabut is known for his intricate and colorful artworks, which bring to mind the distinct look of graffiti as well as the vibrant pages of graphic novels.
Level up your skateboarding skills
Sneaker brand Vans will have a mini indoor skate park right inside the mall where visitors can test out both their skills and their skater-style shoes. Dubbed The Lizzie Mini Ramp Experience, the ramp is named after the first Vans Pro skate shoe model, which was designed by Lizzie Armanto. And in case you don’t know how to ride a skateboard, don't worry because the fair will be holding a program on April 29 and 30 called Vans Skate Skool where you can learn the basics
Get your Vans sneakers customized
Vans will also have a customization booth where patrons can customize their very own sneakers with fabric paint or even colorful patches. You can design the pair yourself or ask for help from a local artist who will be present on April 30 and May 1.
